| Personal background |
|---|
I live in Scotland, UK. I am 27 and am an electronic technician in the oil industry, making various sensors that monitor production from oil and gas wells. My work gives me contact with some of the very latest in oil and gas monitoring technology.
In my spare time: i am a keen member of the Ford RS Owners club, (www.rsownersclub.co.uk), which involves me showing my car at various shows all over the UK. My car is a 1990 Ford Fiesta RS Turbo, (www.fiestaturbo.com), which has been modified to scare some of the bigger cars :o) I also like football, (soccer), music and going out with friends. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1: I do believe in this vast universe that there is life elsewhere. The chances of us being the only "intelligent" life is very small. How and when we discover anyother life is a difficult question to answer. I hope we do pick up some sort of transmission which we can understand and communication can be started. The benefits could be infinite but there could also be very dangerous negatives. With the human thinking of "anything different is dangerous" we could put ourselves in danger if we are very narrow minded to a more advanced civilisation.
2: We already transmit from our planet with TV and radio signals, but this does not give a very good picture of the human race. We should transmit a beacon showing that we are here in this universe giving some sort of description of the planet and people on it.
3: i run SETI@home because i have always had an interest in space and the thought of meeting other life opens up huge possibilities for the human race. As for the project, i think it is brilliant to get "ordinary" people to help in any way possible. |
